Illicit Diamond Buyine.

1t has been calculated by persons en-
gagged in the business that II per cent
of the fall in the price of rough dia-
monds which has taken place within
the last few years should be set down
to the sale of stolen gems, which, to
the value of more than f500. 900, annu-
ally find their way to the markets.
These stones are the direct fruits of
theft, those selling them having made
no contribution whatever to the cost of
obtaining them. When first the work
of diamond-seeklng at Kimberley began
there were no thefts of any Importance,
because each man was then working
for his own hand, or as one of limited
but friendly partnership. 1t was not
until the work of diamond-mining re-
auired the aid of hired labor that the
work of systematic robbery commenced,
and Il. d. B." Gllicit diamond buying)
became an institution of the diamond
fields. Many Of the persons employed
soon fell into the habits of peculation,
not being able to withstand the tempta-
ton presented by the appearance of a
little hit of stone that might perhaps
be worth f1. 200 if they could succeed
in carrying it away without being de-
tected. In every branch of the process
of gem-finding valuable diamonds, it
has to be explained, are always at the
mercy Of the men employed, some of
whom are never slow to take advantage
of any chance that may present itself
of securing stone. Such theft during
the last few years has proved source of
serious annoyance and trouble in con-
nection with the industry. The II. D.
B." trade. as it is locally termed. has
tended to sap the morality of the place
and given rise to the many evils which
result from resetting. There is an old
adage which says that '.if there were no
resetters there would be no thieves. ~

Washington Special: To it's degree in the
Maxwell land grant matter the supreme
court appended some general instructions
to lower courts upon the nature and i'm
portance of land patent that will do
much to clear away a fog that has surround
ed this instrument. While it affirms EN-
phatically the right and jurisdiction OF a
court to investigate and grant relief where
the issue OF patent has been based
upon fraud or mistake. it draws
the attention Of courts to the fact that the
patent is the highest evidence OF title as
well against the United States as against
private individual. Its effect upon the
rulings OF the interior department in land
matters, ,is thus stated by one OF the prin.
cipal law clerks of the Assistaht attorney

Patents cannot lie attacked upon trivial
charges or mere reports by special agents,
and we require the affidavits OF Mt least
two reputable witnesses to charge ol
fraud before we will recommend suit to set

Sheridan Lake is only few

sinking an artesian well, which at a
depth of four thousand feet when a
temporary delay on account of ma

davs the Missouri Pacific railroad
division will be located ut Sheridan
Lake and the Santa Fe railroad will
be here by January /. With these
two trunk lines running east and
west and the B. G. NJ. railway run
ming north and south, ensures for
Sheridan Lake an important railroad
center, surrounded as she is by fine
farming land that is being settled
up and improved by Il class of intel

only be 4 few months until Sheridan
Lake can put on metropolitan airs.
After a motion was made aud carried
